ABOUT this System reminds a bit of the SH5 and it's exatcly the SH-Sound (thats a good thing). of course it has no manual BPF like the SH5 but it is modular. to be exact: it is semimodular because it allows not to access ALL parts. system parts: (101: 1 ADSR, 1x Filter 12dB/oct LPF, 1x LFO, 102: 1x ADSR , ringmod, 1x LFO, 1x Filter 12dB/oct LPF, 104: sequencer, 103: mixer) surely you can use the two 102 + 101 as 2 synths, so it is 2 voice

DETAILS today a complete 5'cab is worth 2000$ (!!) in fact this is enough for roland to re-release it for the prices back in 1978.. most modules have 3 inputs with "attenuator" ,so it will be quite small, the 700 still has this very convenient pre-routing as well.. there are even complete 3-size modules incl. VCO-VCF-VCA , dualVCO, double ENV plus LFO module (with two 1.5ms Attack, 4ms decay/release ADSR envs), ringmod and s/h with clock/lag time like on the system100 as well but with 35hz max) the lfos are CV controlled, the filter is 24dB/oct slope, LPF only but with static typical roland HPF switch (off plus 3 settings) the VCO offers weak and strong sync, pwm and standard waveforms (only one wave per VCO of course: triangle, pulse and saw).. 32' to 2' octave switch. btw: all lfos are 35hz max. nice sound, very smart size ,but it can not do everything and its heavily overprized! why? it's roland! ..more system 100?

SOUND nice FM vocal sounds, fast percussive sounds and interesting FM reso filter sounds. lots of sounds because its modular.

VERSION the system consists of these "modules"

Module
110 VCO + VCF + VCA Module
112 dual VCO
121 Dual VCFs
130 Dual VCAs
131 Output mixer/oscillator/phones Amp
132 Dual CV/Audio Mixer & Voltage Processor Module
140 dual ENV + CV LFO + Module
150 S/H CV-LFO Noise white/pink ringmodulator
165 Dual Portamento Controller
172 Audio Delay Phaser LFO Gate Delay 173 Signal Gate + Multiple
174 Parametric EQ
182 8step sequencer

Keyboard 184 4xCV poly key + Arper - same as Jupiter 4

alternatively

Mono CV keyboard 180

Cabinett: 3 (190) or 5 Modules (width) 191j

Basic System Configurations were

system 100m
the smaller system 100m and even more the semimodular 100 is almost a "split into parts" - synth that still thinks moire "keyboard"-way of snthesizer. most rolands as those 100 & 100m systems do NOT provide a voltage controlled HPF. but a non-VC-HPF. some mod routes simply do not work.. the bigger 700 has quite an amazing sound (more fat than the 100 series that optically have nothing in common). its much more of a modular than the 100. still if you want a modular these days you may tend to the moog and serge, wiard or technosaurus systems.. the rolands are quite easy to patch ,some is internally prerouted. the special 6 pin connector meaning is this:

system 100m
System 100m: Module 140 + 150:
ENV/LFO + S/H + Ring + LFO
lfo got 3 stage switch (lo,mid,hi) for freq. + delay
ADSR with ext trigger

system 100m VCO + VCF + VCA
VCO + VCF + VCA

the VCO offers weak and strong sync, pwm and standard waveforms (only one wave per VCO of course: triangle, pulse and saw).. 32' to 2' octave switch. btw: all lfos are 35hz max. nice sound, very smart size ,but it can not do everything and its heavily overprized! why? it's roland!
..more system 100? check this..
the 100m keyboards: the 184 was quite similar to the jupiter 4's arp'er and control system offering 4CVs for those who want to play 4 voices on a modular..
the other one was the 180 and is a simple CV keyboard.. no more no less.

system 100m Module 112: dual VCO
THE ROLAND STUDIO SYSTEM 100m.
100m modules - are rare! there are 2 sorts cabinets - 3 and 5 spaces (called 190 and 191j)
btw: the 100m is also very SH-Series like.. so check more on the sh tech here: SH

small cabinet (5 modules), no sequencer in it.
